Why not just use a tall cake cover or any other plastic container to protect the model? An upside down plastic tote does a good job!

 

 

That would work Gerald but I think he wants to speed up drying by using a box lined with aluminum foil and a 60w or so lightbulb to produce the heat. Mine works great and I can paint, clearcoat and decal all in the same day.

Besides, the cake cover reallllly should be covering a cake, preferably chocolate!

No issues with your paint off-gassing & messing up the clearcoat later? Really?? Hmm

Scott,

I believe I used 3M Super 77 spray adhesive.

Hey
        MikeV

     Back in 09' I posted a thread about an idea for drying/curing models quicker and you showed us a really simple yet effective drying booth, made with a card board box and aluminum foil. Got a question:

How did you get the foil to stay in place in the box?

I was thinking of using spray adhesive but was worried about it

a.) melting or

b.) letting of toxic fumes.

 

Thanks

Scott
